In the last six months, Ashley’s life has been one disappointment after another. She walked in on her boyfriend with another woman, leaving her needing a new place to live and a mountain of debt. As if that wasn’t enough, her ex convinces her that his infidelity is her fault for being unadventurous in bed. Deep down Ashley has always had the desire to be wild but has been held back by her own insecurities. She’s desperate to break free, but she's fearful of how people will judge her if they know her inner desires. She wants nothing more than to lose herself in sex that pushes her to the limit, but she hasn’t found anyone she trusts enough to take her there until she meets Tanner. Tanner doesn’t trust anyone outside of his inner circle easily. The infamous, media proclaimed playboy, quarterback is tired of people using him for money, connections and to get their fifteen minutes of fame. Determined to protect his image and himself, he makes sure to keep most people at arm’s length until Ashley is thrown into his life. He’s inexplicably drawn to her, and she needs his help in more than ways than one. But to help her, he’ll need to let her in. There’s an immediate attraction and connection that neither can deny, but can both of them get past their inhibitions and find what they are looking for in each other or will everything backfire in their faces?

Review: In the Context of Love by Linda Sienkiewicz

Synopsis

Is it ever too late to leave your past and the secrets that haunt you behind?

Angelica Schirrick wonders how her life could have gotten so far off-track. With her two children in tow, she leaves her felon husband and begins a journey of self-discovery that leads her back home to Ohio. It pains her to remember the promise her future once held, that time before the disappearance of her first love, and the shattering revelation that derailed her life and divided her parents. Only when she finally learns to accept the violence of her beginning can she be open to life again, and maybe to a second chance at love.

Loved this story about how bad things can happen, but life goes on and good things can still occur. This story has a lot of different elements from teen love, violence, low self-worth (that gets better), and love that spans over time.  Even though this story spans over quite a few years, it was well put together and flowed nicely. I loved that though they hadn't seen each other in years they never lost that love and chemistry. I am really hoping there is a continuation of this story. I need to know how the lives of these people, not just Joe and Angelica, but everyone turns out.

The Touched by Jennifer Weiser 

Published by: Limitless Publishing

Publication date: September 29th 2015

Genres: Dystopia, Paranormal, Young Adult

Synopsis:

The first sixteen years of Arabella Penthallow’s life have been a lie…
In a world where deception is the key to survival, Ara has kept up the charade of being a perfect Legion Leader’s daughter. But a darkness stirs, and she discovers she is Touched, a mortal gifted by the Gods. The Touched are as rare as they are feared, and Ara is forced to leave Union City for neighboring Midnight City to protect herself and those she loves, leaving Tove Thorn, the boy who has always known her heart, behind.

Carter Decker has vowed to burn Union City to the ground…

Midnight City’s cocky, infamous bad boy always gets what he wants, and he wants Union City to pay for burning his mother alive because she was Touched. When Carter meets Ara, she is everything he’s been taught to hate. Then he learns she is Touched—just like him—he isn’t sure who he hates more…the Touched girl whose father killed his mother, or himself for being tempted by someone he’s sworn to kill.

They are told they’re fated to be soul mates…and they each wish the other never existed.

When Midnight City is attacked by Union City, Carter and Arabella will do the unthinkable…even if it means falling for the enemy. The truth lies in Arabella’s home nation, and Tove is waiting. Soul mates or not, he has an advantage Carter doesn’t, fated souls be damned.

War is coming…and Ara is the prize.

Release Blitz: 17 Marigold Lane by R. M. Gilmore

New from RM Gilmore, creator of the bestselling Dylan Hart series.

17 Marigold Lane (a Prudence Penderhaus novel)

Prudence Penderhaus was just an ordinary weirdo until the day one word changed the course of her life forever.

Giving up on life, a risky move turns her world upside down and uncovers an odd boy no one knew existed. 

Trying to cope with her life at it stands, Prudence juggles her own emotions as she peels back layers of small-town secrecy that have been hiding right under her nose.

With a newfound purpose, she and her odd boy turn the town of Flintlock on its butt in the pursuit of truth. Uncovering more than she bargained for. Murder.

"My name is Prudence Penderhaus. I've never done anything remarkable. Never even bothered to look up. Until the day I realized I was dying."

                                         

An excerpt from the story:

“You mean… she might have to lose her arm?” Mom’s voice was shrill with tears on the verge of spilling.

“We’re not even considering that at this point, so please don’t worry.” She looked at me and changed the subject. “How’s your pain? I see you’re guarding that arm.”

“Your nurse wrenched it and damn near killed me.” I had no patience for anything at that moment and wanted nothing more than to be at school with Cassius. “I’ll be fine. I just want to go to school. Can we go now?”

“You’re still in school? Excellent. That’s what we like to hear. Just be sure you take it easy, get plenty of sleep and don’t forget to eat. You’d be surprised how quickly your body can turn against you when you’re neglectful to it.” She smiled, charming and radiant; it was no wonder she went into medicine, she certainly had excellent bedside manner. “Have a boyfriend waiting to hear the good news?”

“He’s not my boyfriend.” I said too quickly. “I mean, he’s a boy and he’s my friend, but he’s not my boyfriend. He’s just a good friend that needs me.”

“That’s good you’ve got someone you’re close to. Just make sure he’s giving back what he’s taking. You’ll be needing him soon too. Someone has to grab you frappuccinos and hold your books open for you.” Her smile practically lit up the room.

“He’s not really the take-care-of-others type.”

She pulled her eyebrows in. “That’s too bad. You’ll have to show him how it’s done.”

“He’s a boy with Asperger’s. He’s not a boyfriend and he’s not a caretaker.”

She sat quiet for a long minute. Tilting her head to one side, she looked at me sympathetically. “That boy has all the potential in the world to be both of those things, and better than most boys out there, if you give him a chance.”

I hadn’t considered Cassius a boyfriend because in my head, he didn’t have the capacity. In my head, he was innocent like a child and would never have those types of needs or wants. He could hardly take care of himself, let alone me.

Takeover Tuesday: Author Nick Mazmanian

Welcome, Nick Mazmanian!!

 I live near a cemetery with my wife and dog. I write stories that interest me and deal with monsters and computers and bizarre things!

Can you share a little of your current work with us?

I am currently working on multiple projects. I currently work on two podcasts (The Bat Fan Show and Four Corners) both of which are on Soundcloud and soon to be on iTunes, I also do short videos for my Youtube channel MustacheVenture, and I am currently working on my second book and blog twice a week; oh, and I sleep somewhere in there.

Who designs your covers?

A very talented artist and friend named Ben Hosac.

Do you have any advice for other writers?

Get yourself a chair that's comfortable, because your ass is going to be in it for a while. Plant it, type words on the screen, and you will soon have something that is worth of being a 1^st draft; now toss it and start again.

Don't like that idea? Too bad, because that's how it's going to work.

Do you have any writing rituals or certain things you do to aid your writing process?

I listen to rainymood.com and find music that matches the tone of the scene I am writing. Then I just go for it.

Favorite snack and thing to drink while you write?

Coffee, black, like God intended it to be.

Ebook or Print? 

Print.

Junk Food or Sweets? 

Give me a bag of potato chips and I will give you an empty bag.

Dogs or Cats? 

Dogs.

Tea or Coffee? 

Coffee.

Dark Colors or Light Colors? 

I like the spectrum of light and color that my eye can and cannot see.

Angels or Demons? 

I like not being poked in the ass with a pitchfork, so I'm going with the feathered friends.

Paranormal Romance or Historical Romance? 

Seeing as the closest I've come to either of these genre's is the scene from “Ghostbusters” where Ray has sex with a ghost while dressed in a Napoleonic uniform, I'm going to go with Paranormal Romance.

Boxers or Briefs? 

Boxer briefs, gotta have the support and room.

Control Freak or Careless Jerk? 

Flip a coin on a given day and see what comes up.
